Furthermore, even if it does go forward, DVARP is not sure that it is going to go to Harrisburg on Feb. 14 given the Governor's recent actions. -- Donald Nigro President Delaware Valley Association of Rail Passengers http://www.dvarp.org 1601 Walnut St., Suite 1129 Philadelphia, PA 19102 Phone: 215-RAILWAY Scott Maits wrote: > Matt- > Could you pass a message onto the UC list servs ?
